“You cannot imagine the squalor in which this dog lived and there are no words adequate to convey the horror. The person who owned him simply threw over his food and water to him. Conditions were so awful they had to shovel feces to even be able to open the door to get him out. Not once before this picture was taken has this dog walked on grass or seen the sky above him.”

14. In The Hands Of The Groomers

The groomers arrived at the house in a heartbeat! The little dog started to get nervous when he saw the clippers and later it seemed to understand that all of this was for its own good!

13.Still Friendly and Cheerful

Despite the filthy and difficult conditions that the dog had to endure, he seemed to be extremely friendly. One of the groomers said: “He was OK with the human touch but didn’t seem familiar to it. He warmed up to us really quick. Especially after offering treats.”

12. New Home New Name
